Hi, folks.
I was recently kicking the idea for a collaboration brew around with another area brewery (we provide malts, they provide hops and yeast, we kick the recipe around between us until we both like it) ,and the question came up about the legalities of doing this. From the TTB standpoint, it looks like one of us would have to do this as a tenant or contract brewer, using the other brewery’s facility. That would probably involve another round of licensing hassles, and neither of us want to reopen that particular can of worms. I haven’t even looked at what would be involved at the state level (Minnesota). Does anyone have experience with this, and can give me an outline of the process and pitfalls?
Cheers!
